Chapter 563 The Promised Things With Her

During the days of staying in the boat, Zha met and communicated with the strange-looking doctor almost every day.That actually didn't have many days, but Zha felt that it was extremely long.Almost every moment he was exposed to something completely unfamiliar, something that could not be explained by his cognition.

The doctor did not explain everything to him.More often, he feels that the doctor is not even explaining to him, but just a rambling chat.It's odd to put Drift and Physician together, because even as such a grotesque, Physician still looks a lot like he used to.In the small room far away from the crowd, he was conducting secret research that ordinary people could not imagine.Even if he doesn't know this, just from his usual behavior and demeanor, he can know that he is a person who has been concentrating on his work for a long time and has a strong willpower.

But he is happy to have Zha by his side, just like a teacher treats his students.If you ask him a question, he must explain it.And even those things that Zha didn't ask, he thought about telling them.

The first question raised by the letter, which has nothing to do with the safety of the family, is the death and rebirth of the physician.He had performed the funeral himself, and there was no doubt that the body belonged to the doctor.How did the doctor appear in front of him with another face?
The doctor answered the question succinctly and flatly.The shell of life, he pointed out, is just a more complex mechanism.It can be replaced like any other mechanism.Needless to say the hands, feet and torso, not even the head is necessary.It is neither necessary nor limited to having only one.Just as one person can operate two machines at the same time, one mind can also operate two bodies at the same time.That's not too much of a problem in theory, but in practice it has to be just right, so it has to be a very sophisticated kind of thinking, which in turn depends on how it came to be.In short, the mode of thinking is limited by the original blueprint, and people's understanding of the blueprint is very limited so far, and they can only be said to be imitators who are groping.

These words were bizarre to Zha.But he knew the machine, and he could barely imagine the picture described by the doctor.Though that may have been far from the details of the truth, he learned that physicians could change bodies like mechanical parts.This process does not need to use any tissue from the previous body, and it can even be separated by a considerable distance.The doctor can also change his own shape at will, just like painting a machine with paint.Although Zha never saw the process with his own eyes, he didn't doubt what the doctor said, because his hands and feet were growing on his body at this time.

However, the doctor also revealed to him that this ability is not very special.In fact the leader of the Collectors, the one he had murdered, could do it too.The slain person had many companions who possessed a wealth of knowledge about body modification.If Krishna is to be seen as a real being, it is them, and the past shaped by them.

This is another strange explanation.Zha didn't understand why the doctor described it this way, because the sky was a real thing, just as real as the earth under your feet, or a stone.It's right over their heads.An eternal darkness full of rage.It's right in front of their eyes.Not the past, but the present.Any ghost may hide in it, but it can never be filled.This is what people from the past to the present have seen with their own eyes, and there is no falsehood.

Yes, you have seen it with your own eyes.The doctor answered.That involves a larger and deeper proposition, which is called the "basic layer problem" in his hometown.

He didn't explain the word again, it needs to be connected with three words, an unfamiliar term that Zha has never heard of.But that was the first time he mentioned his hometown.Zha couldn't help but seize this opportunity to ask him, because he couldn't imagine where the doctor came from.

When he brought up that question, the doctor fell into a brief, reminiscent silence.Later he simply described the place to Zha.The description was so bizarre that Zha could still remember it perfectly after many years.

It was a place also covered in frost.The doctor told him.But the earth is lightless and dead.Lined with equally dark, completely sealed towers.Those towers had no windows of any kind, for in the old days any contact with the outside might have led to the destruction of the whole crew.

Naturally, all members live in these interconnected towers.They are not born from their parents like Zha, but are made by imitating the best of their predecessors.But that is not a complete imitation, but a planned adjustment will be added to each individual, causing them to have deviations in thinking and abilities.That's both generational inheritance and optimization testing.

If you understand it in the way that you can get used to, the doctor also pointed out that all the members living in the tower are relatives.They can be considered as one big family.But people born later may not necessarily obey those born earlier, and those who occupy more important positions may not be able to decide everything.They use the tower - the tower itself is a huge and very intelligent machine - to evaluate the scores and abilities, combined with the judgment of the person in charge of education, and finally decide what position each person holds.Everyone will have at least one position, and they are all crucial, requiring long-term thinking and study.As for those heavy and monotonous labors, such as cleaning and maintenance of buildings, collection and exploitation of resources, synthesis of food and other body maintenance products, all are performed by pre-set machines.Even for matters that require human supervision and judgment, they can allow one mind to manipulate multiple bodies, so as to handle tasks that do not require too much calculation.

There is nothing complicated about these words.He could understand it, he just couldn't imagine it.In the queer life the doctor described, there seemed never to be a mention of amusement, rest, company of friends, or anything unrelated to work.It was very similar to the doctors he had known in the past.But is that a life worth living?Zha asked confusedly but cautiously.If they have no time for pleasure, or their own parents and children, how can they endure this endless toil?

At that time, the doctor smiled silently and coldly.He never answered the question.

Let's talk about the sky.Physician replaced the old one with another topic.In some places, the earth is lightless, while the sky periodically alternates between light and darkness.People do not have to divide their rest periods, but work when the sky is bright and rest when the sky is dark.

But the sky in Blackstone is also eternally dark.The earth is a stone without light, and the sky is darkness with countless points of light shining.Those spots of light are not enough to illuminate the ground, but they are very charming: like pinhole-sized crystal oscillators spread on the black-dyed long cloth, and then smeared everywhere with powder sand ground from various colored gemstones.Some people who live in the stone tower are not interested at all, but others like to see the sky like this.

The physician himself is one of those people who likes to look at the sky.They will think during the work interruption time, looking for the explanation of the sky - yes, why the sky is like this needs to be explained, just like the black sky that Zha believes, any phenomenon that has existed throughout the ages is a problem at the basic level.There are many ways of explaining, and they will never know which one is right without experimenting.In order to know the answer, they put in a lot of effort, but in the end they fell short.The consequences of failure were severe, so in the end the Physician left those dark towers, like others who sought explanations.

Motives were also different among those who left.They had few leaders and no particularly close personal contacts.Some are just under pressure, others are still looking.They still believe that the answer can be known, just not in the place where the black towers are everywhere.But the doctor's own reasons are different from those of others. He came in search of something that was lost.

what kind of things?Ask.

He was able to describe this incident in detail, from beginning to end, to others many years later.He remembered it so well because he had only seen such a sight twice in his life.Outside the magnificent spacecraft of the leader of the collectors, on the mirror-like smooth blue land reflecting the abyss in the sky, the doctor stood there like an empty shell, with tears rolling down his dull face.That was the last time Zha saw the doctor cry.

　Although, let's get some monthly tickets.
